Title 13 Public Utilities and Services
Chapter 13.03A Pretreatment
Article IV. Reporting Requirements
Section 13.03A.0408 Non-compliance Reporting [4.8 modified]
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the Plant Manager within twenty-four hours of becoming aware of the violation. Within five (5) days following such discharge, the user shall submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which might be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this chapter. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of a repeat analysis to the Plant Manager within thirty days after becoming aware of the violation. Where the City has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the Industrial User, the City must perform the repeat sampling and analysis unless it notifies the user of the violation and requires the user to perform the repeat analysis. Resampling is not required if:
- the City performs sampling at the user’s facility at least once a month, or
- if the City performs sampling at the user between the time when the initial sampling was conducted and the time when the user or the City receives the results of this sampling. (See 40 CFR §403.12(g)(2)).
Any costs associated with sampling or resampling shall be borne by the user.
